We have a BT15 that was on the field in the 554th from May of 1943 to August of 1944. I would be interested if anyone has a log book with an entry for BT15 42-41689. We are trying to find out how this aircraft was utilized.

I would like to get a copy of the 5th Ferrying Group, Love Airfield, Dallas TX. I am a volunteer at the Kansas Aviation Museum in Wichita, KS and we are wanting to dedicate an Aircraft to the WASP.

I am looking for a copy of the 4th Ferrying Group book or a copy if the book contains a picture of my relative who was killed in WWII while on a mission in Brazil. Would anyone have a copy or know who I would be able to contact?
Thanks so very much!

Captain Glenn P.Shoop, p. 53, 16th Ferrying Squadron,flew
with Braniff Int'l Airlines after the war. He had a distinguished career, flying the Concorde for BNF. He was my hero and inspiration for my own flying career with
USAirways.
